FIG. 1

REWINDER DEVICE

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention, disclosed herein, generally relates to a rewinder device. More particularly, the invention relates to a rewinder device configured to fasten goods in lorry, trucks, ships and cargo related applications.

BACKGROUND

Lashings are generally used as wraps and fraps to tie two or more spars or sticks together to fasten and secure goods or cargo shipments. These lashes are predominantly used in lorry, trucks, ships and other transport mediums. Various types of cords such as electrical cords, coaxial cables and tubing’s are used for this purpose, but the storage is a major concern for all these cords. Generally, long lengths of flexible cords are wound in a coil fashion when not in use. But the storage medium is cumbersome and heavy.

Traditionally, workers in this industry manually wind the cord around the goods or cargo which is tiring and time-consuming process. Further, there are more chances for the worker to get injured himself in the process as well as the goods or the product might get damaged due to some minor accidents. So, the freight forwarder is always at greater risk without having a solution for easier and safer winding storage and reeling device.

Prior art patent reference GB 2381520 A assigned to Hall John, discloses a winding device for cargo straps or lashings wherein a fastening means located at one end comprises first and second winding posts which are separated by a distance corresponding to the length of the fastening device of the strap. The device also comprises adjustable winding posts used as an axle for engagement with the male and female member. Even though the device discloses a circular plate with a central opening and clamping pins as posts to wind the cord, the configuration of the passages in the circular plate and their engagement with the pins are not disclosed. Therefore, the winding loosening functionality using this device is not possible.

Hence, there is a long felt but unresolved need for a rewinder device which assists the workers especially in the freight forwarding industry to easily wind and store the lashing cords to fasten goods in lorry, trucks, ships and cargo related applications.
